Treba nam humor koliko i vazduh koji udišemo, kaže politički karikaturista Patrik Šapat. U govoru ilustrovanim značajnim momentima iz karijere provedene u razapinjanju svih, od diktatora i ideologa do selfija i rulja na društvenim mrežama, Šapat iznosi prodorne, a često i urnebesne argumente o potrebi za satirom. „Političke karikature su rođene kada i demokratija, i osporavaju se kada se osporava sloboda“, kaže on.

Political cartoons have challenged the powerful for centuries, but today, they are threatened by censorship and social media mobs. A single cartoon can land its creator in prison, exile, or out of a job, as seen in Turkey, Syria, and even major US newspapers. When outrage silences satire, vital conversations and humor disappear from public life. Societies that abandon political cartoons risk losing a critical tool for holding authority to account.
